Biogas can supply the farmers with the energy they need because biogas is a flammable gas that help the farmers,biogas supply farmers by the HEAT ENERGY that help the farmers to get the energy they need in planting,like sun biogas give a HEAT ENERGY that what plants needed in heat energy from the SUN.
Energy harnessed from biogas is produced through the anaerobic digestion of organic materials, such as agricultural waste, food scraps, and sewage. During this process, microorganisms break down the organic matter in an oxygen-free environment, generating biogas primarily composed of methane and carbon dioxide. This biogas can then be utilized as a fuel for heating, electricity generation, or even as a vehicle fuel after purification. Additionally, the byproduct of this process, known as digestate, can be used as a nutrient-rich fertilizer.
To estimate the size of a well needed to produce biogas for a 30 HP engine running for 24 hours, we first need to determine the energy requirement. A 30 HP engine consumes approximately 22.4 kW (1 HP ≈ 0.746 kW), leading to a total energy requirement of about 537.6 kWh for 24 hours. Biogas typically contains around 6 kWh per cubic meter, so you would need roughly 90 cubic meters of biogas daily. The size of the well will depend on the feedstock availability and digestion efficiency, but it should be designed to produce at least this volume of biogas consistently.

Biogas is harnessed by capturing the methane-rich gas produced during the anaerobic digestion of organic materials, such as agricultural waste, food scraps, and manure. This gas is then collected and can be burned in a generator to produce electricity or used directly for heating. Additionally, biogas can be refined to remove impurities and upgraded to biomethane, which can be injected into natural gas grids or used as a vehicle fuel. The process not only generates energy but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions and promotes waste management.
by the forms of energy the biogas supply farmers with the energy they need.
It isn't. Fuels such as biogas store energy, they don't control it.
Not in western countries
Biogas is a renewable energy source produced from the breakdown of organic materials in the absence of oxygen. When burned, biogas produces heat and energy through a combustion process, similar to natural gas. This energy can be used for cooking, heating, and electricity generation.
Biogas was discovered by Sir Humphry Davy in 1810. He observed that gas was produced by the fermentation of waste in farmers' dung heaps.

biogas from landfill waste has been harnessed in sites around in world
True. Biogas is a renewable energy source produced from the breakdown of organic matter such as agricultural waste, manure, sewage, and food scraps. These organic materials are collectively referred to as biomass, making biogas a form of biomass energy.
Biogas is primarily used as a renewable energy source for heating, cooking, and electricity generation. It is also used as a cleaner alternative to traditional fuels in vehicles. Additionally, biogas can be upgraded to biomethane for injection into natural gas pipelines or as a transportation fuel.
This would entirely depend on how efficient your biogas consuming electrical generator is and what the constituent gases in the biogas are. Biogas can contain between about 50-70% methane. The available energy in the biogas is derived from the calorific value (CV) of methane factored by the concentration of methane in the biogas. If you know the efficiency of the gas engine then you can derive the energy output from the known CV of the biogas input. It is important to select a suitable generator that can run on biogas and will provide suitable warranties when operating on biogas. It may be necessary to consider the impact of contaminant gases such as siloxanes, hydrogen sulphide and moisture in the biogas. It may be appropriate to protect the engine by installing scrubbing systems to clean the gas and remove the contaminants upstream of the engine in order to improve the lifetime of the equipment.
When you run on biogas added no new carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. You can say that the vehicles run on solar energy, which is first bound in green plants, and finally converted into biogas. Biogas are therefore called "carbon neutral". Biogas does not contribute to global warming and climate change. This makes biogas to fuel alternatives today with the least impact on the environment. Biogas is a part of the natural cycle. Biogas is formed during decomposition of organic material in oxygen-free environment. The gas is formed spontaneously in nature in the sumpgas, or controlled in a Sewage digesters. When biogas production, we take to be the waste from the slaughter and food and manure from the farm, ie a kind of recovery. From biogas extraction we also biogödsel replacing chemical fertilizers in agriculture. Since biogas is a renewable energy has an important part of the sustainable society that we must strive to achieve. SRINIVAS KASULLA srinivaskasulla@gmail.com
